Liquid nitrogen is usually the absolute protagonist of the most extreme overclock competitions, however on some occasions it gives honors to liquid helium and the Core i7-7740K has been one of those cases. The new Kaby Lake-X processor has shown tremendous overclocking capabilities under the most demanding conditions to achieve speeds of 7.5 GHz.

Core i7-7740K reaches 7.5 GHz with the help of helium

It has been a collaboration between TeamAU and GIGABYTE OC Lab that has used liquid helium to push the Core i7-7740K to its most absolute limits. For this hazana, a Gigabyte X299 SOC Champion motherboard has been used and the processor has seen half of its cores deactivated to work with only two cores, a practice that is very common when looking to push a chip to its most absolute limit.

Intel Core i7-7800X and Core i7-7820X benchmarks and comparison with Ryzen

To reach 7.5 GHz, a configuration of 100 MHz has been chosen in the base clock and a 75.0x multiplier, thereby reaching a final frequency of 7.5 GHz, on the other hand, the voltage has been maintained at 1, 096 V, a very low figure that we doubt is real and that surely is due to an error in the measurement.
